 Wow, this was tough on multiple facets.  First of all, who to pick at each position, then to place them in the best batting order.  I decided to put high contact hitters at the top 2 spots in the lineup and had to have the Babe at cleanup.  The bottom half of the order were the toughest decisions.

Went with Bonds because of his defense and speed.

GREAT poll-- I'm going to feature it. Very tough. I had similar dilemmas-- had to go with Teddy Ballgame because I can't imagine an all-time lineup that doesn't include the best pure hitter in the game's history. Yet an argument could be made that he wasn't even the best left fielder on the Red Sox. It would have been a bit easier had you included A-Rod at his natural position of SS rather than 3B. As it was, I went for defense on the left side with Brooks and Ozzie. Catcher was also a really tough choice. We can all see Piazza had the power numbers there but can also remember that he wasn't nearly as good defensively as many others.

 I was thinking the same.  I would have went with Rodriguez in a second if he was at shortstop.

I also could have done without the DH.  If it was not there Gherig would be at first for sure.

  When I created this, I felt like I must be leaving out some top second basemen, because the numbers of the ones I had chosen right off weren't that impressive. Thanks for the Honus Wagner suggestion, and I wasn't sure which position to put A-Rod at.

Nope.  I am able to leave my personal emotions out of things like this.  The Splinter was a better hitter, but Bonds is not THAT far behind and he brings superior defense and speed to the table.


But I do like Ruth as a DH, though.

Hard to go wrong with any of the guys listed in the poll.

But Rickey was more of a corner outfielder, for one thing.  And while his lead off skills are unquestioned, his defense was deplorable.  Which is why he normally didn't play CF even with his great speed.

Plus, playing Rickey in CF leaves out the greatest player who didn't pitch in the history of the game.  The Say-Hey Kid!

My line up using the guys on the list but changing Ruth to DH...

1.  Rogers Hornsby 2B
2.  Willie Mays CF
3.  Babe Ruth DH
4.  Lou Gherig 1B
5.  Barry Bonds LF
6.  Hank Aaron RF
7.  Alex Rodriguez SS
8.  Johnny Bench C
9.  Brooks Robinson 3B

This line up would certainly be right up there with yours.  My only problem was I don't like the 3 lefties in a row in the middle.  I guess Aaron could move up, but the offense of those three lefties is just so awesome....

Yes I'll take Ruth as the DH, then install Aaron in right, and bring Clemente in late in the game for defensive purposes, as he's clearly the best defensive RF ever. But in that position, I might have Ichiro on the B-team. RF has probably been the best overall position for player value through history.

Henderson should be a left fielder. Also, how do you leave Pudge Rodriguez off of the list at Catcher, and Frank Thomas off at DH

I agree.  Henderson should be LF.  He played mostly there except during his time with the Yankees.

I'd have to say that both Ty Cobb and Willie Mays are plenty good enough to take The Yankee Clipper off the list.

 Where's Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Newt Allen, or perhaps the best 2 way player of 1920-1940  gifted with tremendous speed, Oscar Charleston who also had huge power, played a shallow center and still had the ability to run down long drives. Many compared his style of defense to that of Tris Speaker.

“Charleston could hit that ball a mile,” Dizzy Dean said. “He didn’t have a weakness. When he came up, we just threw it and hoped like hell he wouldn’t get a hold of one and send it out of the park.”  He was a career .353 hitter.

Or Martin Dihigo, Johnny Mize said of him: "He was the only guy I ever saw, who could play all nine positions, manage, run and switch-hit."  Dihigo finished his career winning three Negro League home run crowns and tied Josh Gibson for another. As a pitcher, he racked up more than 200 wins in American and Mexican ball and is the only player ever elected to the Cuban, Mexican, and United States Baseball Halls of Fame.

 also I ended up DHing Ted Williams, moved Ricky to LF, Rodriguez is my SS, I played Gehrig at 1B, Mays shifted to RF to make room for Cobb and I hope Aaron can knock enough runs to make up for any he lets in as he did play 3B early in his career in both high school, the Negro Leagues as well as his 1st 3 seasons in the minors.

  I tried to put the best 4-5 players at each position. Naturally, I've never seen those that played before 1980 and I knew going in that everyone would have different players than me if they created the same poll. But I thought it would be fun for everyone to figure out their lineup and see how they all compared.

I was thinking the same.  I would have went with Rodriguez in a second if he was at shortstop.

I also could have done without the DH.  If it was not there Gherig would be at first for sure.
Good choices, I went with Robinson at third for defense, and chose Foxx over pujols, Gehrig would have definitely been my first baseman also 9absent a dh.

I think it's because he didn't play for the Yankees and because he didn't contract ALS.
